A spin-off from The Big Bang Theory : Young Sheldon (Netflix)
Synopsis
In Texas, a state where football and religion rule, it’s not easy to be an outstanding scientist. This series recounts the youth of Sheldon Cooper, an atypical and eccentric character in the series. The Big Bang Theory. While the young boy is looking for how to evolve within his very normal family, the latter must also find a way to understand this being both uncomfortable and endearing.
The opinion of CNET France
This old school sitcom features one of the most beloved characters in The Big Bang Theory when he was still just a little boy whose superior intelligence has nothing to do with the rest of his family. Ian Armitage (seen in Big Little Lies) embodies with talent a young Sheldon as touching as annoying, and surrounds himself with a gallery of equally effective actors.
Between his football coach father and his quick-witted grandmother, Sheldon grows up in a family that does not look like him but does everything for him. Amusing and touching, his adventures are savored with pleasure and the episodes follow one another easily as the viewer happily settles into the daily life of the Coopers.

A spin-off from Breaking Bad : Better Call Saul (Netflix)
Synopsis
Better Call Saul follows the misadventures of Saul Goodman, still known as Jimmy McGill when he is still just a lawyer struggling to make ends meet.
The opinion of CNET France
The fans of Breaking Bad can’t pass by Better Call Saulwhich brilliantly takes up the torch of Vince Gilligan’s series by putting one of the most amazing characters from the original series at the center of its plot.
In Better Call Saul, we discover more in depth the character of Saul Goodman in a series that mixes genres, brilliantly linking drama to comedy while putting his characters in situations more crazy and tense than each other. The show is a gem of writing that also benefits from an amazing cast, with Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn forming an explosive duo with a palpable alchemy.

A spin-off from Game of Thrones : House of the Dragon (Prime Video/OCS)
Synopsis
House of the Dragon takes us back to when the Targaryens ruled Westeros with their dragons. The series takes place as King Viserys occupies the Iron Throne, 172 years before the birth of Daenerys Targaryen, and the question of his succession begins to sow trouble in the heart of the kingdom.
The opinion of CNET France
If it is missing House of the Dragon the narrative richness of Game of Thrones, its smaller number of characters makes it possible to give them more depth and to develop them in such a way as to quickly invest the spectators in their stories. In his heart, House of the Dragon is a family tragedy which, in its first season, lays the foundations for a conflict which will later devastate the reign of the Targaryens.
On the casting and production side, the quality is, unsurprisingly, there. From Matt Smith to Paddy Considine via Milly Alcock and Olivia Cooke, all of them offer quite convincing performances. The sets, special effects and costumes are at the level of Game of Thrones, and we notice that the realization is also neat. To note that House of the Dragon is to be seen in streaming on Prime Video via the Warner Pass or to be found on OCS.
